In present work, the peculiarities of simulation model of enterprises bankruptcy probability that exist in European, world and domestic practices were considered. The scientific econometric approach was applied to determine the overall presence and strength of the relation between the economic indicators of industrial enterprises. A financial analysis of large industrial manufactures in the region of Ukraine was conducted. To form the information base of the study, the authors estimated liquidity, solvency, business activity and profitability ratios that affect the financial condition of enterprises. They revealed the most significant ratios of financial condition analysis. According to the analysis of existing models of bankruptcy probability in the context of these industrial enterprises, an improved model for assessing the risk of bankruptcy was proposed and evaluated. The proposed model for estimating the probability of bankruptcy, taking into account the influence of the most significant ratios of financial analysis, confirmed that the percentage of provided bankruptcies and stable activities are acceptable and indicate high quality of the resulting equation. The IBM SPSS Statistics system was used to process the data, check the assumptions and prepare valid conclusions. The improved model will allow it to be used in the practice of diagnosing the probability of bankruptcy of industrial enterprises, which will help identify the threat of bankruptcy in time and ensure stable operation of the industrial enterprise.

Centro de Estudos de Geografia e Ordenamento do Território, p. 7-29 ResumoEste artigo descreve um projeto-piloto, excepcionalmente inovador, de desenho e planeamento urbano colaborativo. 16 especialistas (arquitectos, urbanistas, geógrafos e economistas) envolveram-se num processo de construção de consenso profissionalmente desenhado e facilitado, visando o desenvolvimento de uma proposta comum para a reconversão e revitalização de Frunze 35, um sítio industrial abandonado em Kiev (Ucrânia). Após cinco dias de trabalho intenso e baseado numa abordagem multissectorial e multiescala a proposta conjunta abrangeu a história do local, futuras atividades, arquitetura, articulação com os arredores e um modelo de gestão viável. A experiência é transferível para o planeamento urbano em toda a Europa, sempre que o projecto em questão exige uma participação efetiva de actores-chave.Palavras-Chave: Conversão de Locais Industriais Abandonados -Desenho Urbano Colaborativo -Construção de Consenso -Planeamento Urbano Integrado -Participação -Diálogo -Gestão de Conflito -Mediação Ambiental e Socio-Territorial (MAST) GOT, n.º 4 -Revista de Geografia e Ordenamento do Território (dezembro de 2013) GOT, nr. 4 -Geography and Spatial Planning Journal (December 2013) 8 AbstractThis paper describes an outstandingly innovative pilot project of collaborative urban design and integrated planning. 16 experts (architects, urbanists, geographers and economists) underwent a professionally designed and facilitated consensus construction process and developed a common project proposal for the reconversion and re-vitalization of Frunze 35, an abandoned industrial site in Kiev (Ukraine). In five days of intense work a multi-sectorial socio-economic and a multi-scale spatial approach led to a project proposal, that focused on history and heritage, activities, architecture, link to the surroundings and a feasible management model for Frunze 35. This experience is transferrable to collaborative urban planning all over Europe, whenever an effective participation and involvement of stakeholders, users and other interested actors are in demand.
